Kendrick Lamar has the masses saying ‘DAMN’ for more reasons than one this week.
The Hip-Hop force earned the year’s highest album sales debut with the LP and now has cause for celebration with its latest single ‘HUMBLE.’
For, in climbing #3-#1 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, the track has become K. Dot’s second song to reach the top of the tally. Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood (Remix)’ being the first.
In doing so, it uproots Ed Sheeran’s monster smash ‘Shape Of You’ – which logged 12 non-consecutive weeks at #1.
So how did Lamar pull off the feat?
‘HUMBLE.’ increased a colossal 56% in streaming to amass a US one week total of 67.4 million Stateside streams. It also wracked up 56,000 US downloads.
Elsewhere on the chart, the TDE star earned the week’s highest new entry with fellow ‘DAMN’ track ‘DNA’ (#4).
We’re still getting our life to the ‘HUMBLE.’ video. Watch the Dave Myers production below…
Wow I’m stunned. This is shaping to be something else. AOTY Grammy perhaps?
I thought the exact same thing. This album is both critically and commercially successful. 2 things the grammys look for in AOTY. I def needs to be norminated. we will see what else this year has in store for us.
He saved music this year
Welp….”Nicki” back to the drawing board you go..??
Where is beyonce’s?
How does Nicki correlate to this?
He deserves it
Thank you Kendrick dahhhhling!
Congratulations to Kendrick on all his success 2 songs in the top five and the #1 album in the country along with the biggest sales in a debut week for 2017. Talk about making an impact. Glad to see our black artists winning and winning big.
Kendrick ain’t playing! Wow
That’s wassup! KDot killing s*** SOLO with RAW RAP. Ain’t gotta drop 2389232390 duds a year to be relevant like Thirsty Monopoly. Drake is SHOOK. R.I.P. Young Money.
shut yo gay ass up. did you forget about maroon 5 collaboration? did you forget about the greatest with sia? mr “raw rap?” what would YOU know about “raw” rap?
Nah I ain’t forget all them HITS actually charted within the top 20. Don’t ever compare a king to a clown, one actually has rap classics under his belt AND A NUMBER ONE. FOH. Don’t @ me unless ya tall enough to ride the rollercoaster. Ya cancelled.
dont @ me unless you manly enough to quit chrpin like a bird on the internet h**. steady comin’ for a woman cuz u bend over like one. that CLOWN that u referring to has sold more than all the n***** that are competing with her so shut yo h** ass up.
I’m finna drop kick yo little person built ass off dem stilts. Baby Jadakiss swears he’s brave in these grape juice streets Ha! Ease up. THAT CLOWN ain’t got any rap relevance to even hold a torch to a Top 5 rapper like Kendrick. Vanilla Ice, MC hammer and Nelly sold more albums than all the n***** competing with Nicki right now too….your point? To be the queen of rap you gotta actually rap. Your opinion is NULL & VOID. Young Money is washed. Ya vex cuz Kenny did it the right way, never sold out and still got mad props.
so now numbers matter? lol pick a side you f**. you don’t like rap nor hip hop NOR nicki and you’re mad that she’s LITERALLY the highest selling female rapper to date? even BEFORE streaming? most chart entries? only time that doesn’t matter is when YOU wanna prove your gay ass point ho ass n****. take the d*** out your mouth before you speak to me again.
Ole head & shoulders no neck having nicca. Shorter than Gary Coleman head ass. I could fit ya little ass in my duffel you leprechaun. Stay out grown ppl’s business. I actually spent my hard earn coin on Damn. You don’t know me! So get a ladder and keep reaching.
You don’t got a duffel bag you carry a purse f**. now all of a sudden you wanna shade my height but you was NOT saying that When you was calling me cute in kik lol evidently you find gary Coleman jadakiss jeezy or whoever else you wanna name attractive you boogie down basic pink lip “verse” top BIRD. you need a job this aint cutting it. ho ass f**.
This is massive!!!! WOW, I am so surprise and happy at the sametime. We need more urban acts making impact like this! love it
I thought blacks couldn’t top the Hot 100???? I remember ppl a while ago saying how blacks struggle to succeed yet most of the 10 is performed my us. No disrespect just wondering
AYYYEEEE!!!!!! Humnble is my LIFE anthem. Congrats Kung Fu Kenny, you’ve created a new stan. Also, shout out to Loyalty Ft. Rihanna on reaching #14 fresh out the gate.
this is great i just wish rnb could do this again
new layout same f***. i see kwinzy still peckin for crumbs like the bird he is. ho ass n****. he still MAD cuz i havent responded to him on kik lol p****.
Not Kendrick Lamar getting a second #1 hit before Onickel. ? Onickel’s singles are flopping too. The dollar tree barbiez are really having a bad year.
#460
I want to know is it better to stream or buy your artist music?? Rihanna pure albums sells was bad, but streaming she sold unit. Beyonce pure sells Was high, but streaming not so good. And I know beyonce wasn’t available on every streaming platform.
